I had a meeting last night with the urban gardening intern from Veritas. It happened to work out at a very large coincidental fit of fate that her name is, of course, Kelly.
I walk over to the Crest and wait for her to show up. When I see her walk in she is very pretty. We order drinks and sit outside while we wait for a table and exchange introductions.
It's going very well. She's funny, interesting, cute, I had done my homework. I had examined the facebook page and no signs of relationship life could be detected. As we are talking a woman she knows walked by and stopped and said:
Did I see engagement photos of you somewhere?
Yeah I just got engaged.
This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.
As my heart deflates and sinks into my gut like an old worn out balloon she turns to me and says,
Oh yeah I just got engaged last night. The ring is getting fitted so that's why I'm not wearing it now. I didn't know how exactly to fit that into our conversation.
I thank God that that woman walked by so that hope could be crushed and destroyed within me. We went inside and had our dinner and drinks. The evening when perfectly. Too perfectly. It was disgusting.
I walk into the house and Ellen asks from upstairs if it's me.
Yeah, it's me...I collapse on the couch, the same couch I use to hold Kelly on, staring at the ceiling. Ellen! Can we hang out right now? I feel kinda lonely.
Ellen came down stairs and we had one of our talks where I tell myself beforehand that I won't talk the whole time but then halfway through realize I haven't stopped talking.
She's a great woman and an awesome roommate. I'm so glad she's in my life. I walk up stairs and pass out in my bed alone. I'm looking forward to planting and learning today at the Scalable Perennial Polyculture: Free Hands-On Workshop in Chagrin Falls.
Give me peace Jesus.
